In many parts of the world, there seems to be less rain than normal. This is especially evident in tropical climates with rainy seasons. Here in Southwestern Japan, we have a four-seasonal climate, but it also has many sub-tropical elements as well. Those include plant-life, insect habitation, and rainy seasons. Rainy seasons are essential for the upkeep of plant and animal life during the normal, or non-rainy seasons. However, if we have an abnormal rainy season with less or even no rain, it wreaks havoc on plant, animal, and plant ecosystems. Gree vegitation becomes dry and the output of green plant for food is small and minimal. Corn becomes small and thin. Brocolli gets dry and crumpled.
We certainly don't want to see any of these things happen. I'm not sure if there is actually less or no rain, because our rainy season has just begun, and we got about 2 or 3 days of solid rain in the past two weeks or so. Believe me, I'm not a fan of the rainy season. But I AM a fan of beautiful and tasty green and colorful vegetables and good delicious water. So I'm willing to put up with a few weeks of torrential rain to give us sustenance, life, health. And everyone else should be too.
